On your marks... get set... Ducks! Geese! Research! Welcome back to another fantastic episode where Carter sits down with Dr. Ben Sedinger. Ben grew up in Fairbanks, Alaska, where he developed a passion for wildlife and the outdoors. He honed this passion into a career during his university studies in Reno, Nevada, while working on ecological research projects around North America. Ben is especially interested in waterfowl ecology and using quantitative tools to advance the conservation of wildlife and the habitats they rely on. Dr. Sedingers current interest lies in population ecology, harvest dynamics, and life history evolution of waterfowl. Learn how he uses quantitative tools to address questions in these areas, with a primary goal of advancing waterfowl management and conservation globally.
